Brown Trout
If you're chasing brown trout near Brighton, Michigan, you'll want to focus on the Huron River and its tributaries. What makes this area special is the river's recovering ecosystem, supported by active stocking programs and habitat restoration. Prime time is spring (April-May) during the mayfly hatches, and again in the fall (October-November) as browns prepare to spawn. The trout tend to move upstream to smaller creeks and tributaries during the spawn, so that's where you'll find the most action. A practical tip: access to the Huron River is available at several points along the Huron River Water Trail, including easily accessible spots near Kensington Metropark. Be aware of water levels, as the Huron can fluctuate quickly after heavy rains, making wading difficult. The browns here average 12-16 inches, but some real trophies exceeding 20 inches are caught every year, especially by anglers willing to fish at night with larger streamers.
